IELTS Student Visa In New Zealand
IELTS Student Visa In New Zealand
For many years a “Certificate of English as medium of language used in obtaining the degree” suffices to meet the entry requirement for the course program in New Zealand, and consider as an additional evidence or proof of English when applying for a student visa at INZ, for a country like the Philippines. This is no longer acceptable as a proof of English Language Proficiency for the course program – due to the fact, that the approval rate for student visa in the Philippines went down almost 20%. However, the international students with a tertiary qualification (at least 3 year in duration) with English as the language of instruction for the countries like, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, and the United Kingdom or the United States, are eligible to enroll for any levels of NZQF.
IELTS would have been the most popular proof of your English Language Proficiency (Certificate) to meet the entry requirement of the course programs in New Zealand, and as part of the compliance when submitting an application for a student visa in New Zealand (how to apply from the Philippines) at any Immigration New Zealand branch office (Philippines) when you intend to study in New Zealand. It is now a prerequisite to submit the proof of English Language certificate i.e., IELTS on October 1, 2015 onwards for the Philippines and other countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Ukraine, Shrilanka, Nigeria, Pakistan among others; as identified, were approval rate of student visas is below 80% as per the recent report from NZQA.
This is also stipulated on The Rule 18 of the NZQF Program Approval and Accreditation Rules 2013, which sets the (Rule 18) English language requirements for certain international students.
